a WORD IN SEASON.

The LIGHT correspondent in last Tues
days issue, who disCoursed so fOrcibly
upon the social life of certain set in
this city, has deserved we'll OF the pure
and the true. The fathers and mothers
of San Antonio owe that writer deep
debt of gratitude. No more necessary,
timely truths have been spoken in any
newspaper in this city, since newspa-
pers were. 1t uncovered unclesnness
with a masters hand, but was itself
without suspicion of uncleanness; it
made known the offences of dissolute
young men, but in such terms as TO give
no offence to purity itself; it lifted the
cover from the very pit of social ruin,
but only exposed il to the horror and
execration of all righteously minded
people; it led the fathers and mothers of
this city to the brink of hell's own pit
fall, but only that they might see the
danger which threatened the virgin in
nOcenCy of their daughters. In the
manner and in the matter of its doing II
left nothing to criticise, but to those
whose acts 1t revealed it must have
stung like serpent and bitten like an
adder. 1t WAS word spoken in season.
and San Antonio will be the better for
having heard it. Those who have not
read the expose can find it in the
WEEKLY LIGHT, tomorrow.

1uE lRoN SINKS nEEPsR.

The anti-monopoly cry Is no longer
confined to the despised mudsllls. The
grasping power Of corporations is being
felt in circles little nearer the centers
Of power and influence. rhe anaconda
coils tighter around the upper timbers
10 the commercial and legislative struct-
ures az well ms around the "mudsills"
and there are symptoms OF a revolt.
One corporation reaches out It's hands
and LAYS its embargo upon what we
eat, and our corn and wheat.and meat
are dOled out to us at prices that suit
the syndicate. Another, like the de-
strOying angel OF the apocalyptic vision,
with its one foot on sea and the other on
land, lays its cOvetous clutch on the ma
terials OF nations light and our homes
are levied upon to pay just what greed
demands for the light in our dwellings.
Another weaves It's net work over the
land by virtue Of governments supine
acquiescence, and every message we
wire our loved ones, pays tribute to the
latter day greed for gold. Another. by
consent of state and national Legislature,
secures the material wealth to construct
vast network of rails at the ex-
pense of the public domain and leVees
it's tax upon the commerce OF nation,
to pay the enormous profits necessary
to realize quarterly dividend upon
volume OF watered stock four-fold
greater than the actual capital
OF the roads. Thus the evil
grows ana the privileges OF the
many are farmed out for the benefit OF
the few. The struggle against this
usurpatiOn, so long and bitterly waged
by the industrial classes, is being en-
tered into by the commercial classes as
well. The remonstrances, scarcely heard
when uttered in earth's low places, are
being needed now that they find ex-
preston in high places. The cry of pa
ternal government is no longer all pow
erful to prevent legislatures. state and
national, from making quest into the
powers and rights of these corporations.
rhe metropolitan press has found that
the cry must be needed that is raised
against usurpations of public rights,
and the columns of the daily journals
are beginning TO echo the voice of the
people. All this but proves that the
iron is sinking deeper and deeper into
the life of our people and that 1t ia
ranking to some purpose. This is
healthy sign. By and by the sword of
human justice will be thrust into this
ulcer that oOrrupts the life blood Of the
body polite, its corruption will be
drained and the life OF the nation saved.

FRIDAY, MARCH rs, 1887.
hour CRIMINALS.

That this country has not yet mas
tered the alphabet OF a wise policy In
the management of her criminal classes
is apparent to all who are familiar with
the growth of crime in this country
Whether IL be that the United states
have been made TO a great extent IA
colony for the criminal CIasse- oil Europe
or not, the Iacts are, the proportion Of
our criminals to the number Of our pop
ulation is alarminglg on the increa-e
Not only is this so, but the criminal
statistics Of older countries show thai
in them the very reverse Of this cOndi-
ton is true, abundsntly demonstrating
that the increase in this country is not
due 20 any general deterioration OF the
race From the years 1863 10 1879 the
number of criminals In Great Britain
decreased from one IN each l.S53 OF the
population to one in 2, 800. In the
United States during Ihat same period
the number Of criminals increased from
one in each l.U2I Of the population to
one in each S37. Thus tits seen that hut
only has the ratio increased steadily,
but that the number Of criminals with
us is nearly three times as great in pro
portion to population as il is in Greal
Britain. As our country becomes more
settled this proportion will continually
increase until the burden Of our cTimi-
nal classes will become TO great for u
to 5ear, unless some more etieCtual meth
DDS of dealing with this subject are
adopted. The agitation OF the labor Or
CARNATIONS and their hostility to the
employment of convict labor only COM
plicates the problem. In general il may
be said that some phIlanthrOpic work OF
prison reform is the only remedy; but
what? The practical difficulties OF the
problem are well nigh irsurmOuntable.
The state in its legislative capacity
seems utterly incapable Of dealing with
the question. Can the ChurChmeD, the
philanthrOpists, the moralisrs, suggest
some practical way of dealing with the
difficulty? The solution only will be
found in reform of the criminal
classes.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1887-03-25
INCREASED ORGANIZATION.

As the pressure of necessity forced
man into the close ranks of society and
SO made of him a social being, in the
development of the race from the saw
agery of its primitive condition, so now
the necessities of industrial life are fore
ing societies into more compact and for
NAL organizations for specific industrial
ends. The FARMERS clubs" "mechanic
Institutes" manufacturers assocla-
tons" all have their beg ming and end
ing in this recognized necessity for closer
organic union among those who have
the same objects to secure, the same in
tpresrs to serve. At no time in the his
tory Ofthis country has the tendency to-
wards associated industry been so
marked as it is today. The times seem
to demand cooperation among those
of the same guild, not heretofore neces-
STATED. The classification of business
enterprises has drawn the lines more
sharply between the several occupa-
tiOns, and In the rivalry for supremacy
10 CdSti anu
competition there is interjected a sense
of the necessity Of mutual stand
against the common enemy. The re-
suit of this movement Is to make the
boz DIS closer between those who follow
the same calling, and the old time reval-
ries are lost in the new time idea of mu-
tual cooperation for the benefit of the
particular guild. The wisdom of the
many thus becomes the inheritance of
each and the general knowledge and
prosperity is advanced. All trade or
CARNATIONS and unions and cooperative
associations have originated thus. The
farmers are now working on the same
line and the result will be only good.
Texas will be truly and intelligently
prosperous only when every profession
and calling has its societies, its organi.
cation, for the increase of all knowledge
pertaining thereto and the advancement
of its interests by cooperative efforts.
